You should choose the size closest to your horse's actual measured width, as the extra clearance is already built-in to prevent the cheekpieces from pinching the lips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this bit suitable for a horse that is \"fussy\" or sensitive to bit pressure?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, the MB 04 is specifically designed for Level 2 horses that may be resistant to palate pressure or single-jointed bits. The 1\/4\" port provides the necessary tongue relief to foster relaxation, making it ideal for green horses, sensitive types, or those requiring re-schooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 89-29047\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Myler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42250699309277,"sku":"89-29047","price":151.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/optimized_257bd879-30ac-4188-80ad-be5fe3a1e732.webp?v=1767068554","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/myler-mb-04-eggbutt-snaffle-bit-stainless-steel-copper-inlay-5-1-2","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
